It was a heavy price; but this victory broke the back of the Indian war.
Many horses had been killed or had strayed away, and it was impossible to transport all the stores to Fort Pitt.
What could not be carried with the force was destroyed, and the victors moved on to Bushy Creek, at a slow pace on account of the wounded.

No sooner had they pitched their tents at the creek than some of the enemy again appeared; the Highlanders, however, without waiting for the word of command, scattered them with the bayonet.

On the following day the march began for Fort Pitt.

Three days later, on August 10, the garrison of that fort heard the skirl of the bagpipes and the beat of the drum, and saw through the forest the plaids and plumes of the Highlanders and the red coats of the Royal Americans.
The gate was thrown open, and the victors of Edge Hill marched in to the welcome of the men and women who for several months had had no news from their friends in the east.
Bouquet had been instructed to invade the Ohio country and teach the Shawnees and Delawares a lesson.

But his men were worn out, half of them were unfit for service, and so deficient was he in horses and supplies that this task had to be abandoned for the present year.
Pennsylvania and Virginia rejoiced.
